Canadian e-commerce giant Shopify announced today that its payments platform, Shopify Payments, now allows payments made using Google Pay. According to its website, Shopify is used by more than 600,000 businesses worldwide. Among those businesses are familiar names like Penny Arcade and PooPouri.

It’s worth noting that while 600,000 is certainly an impressive figure, not all payments made to Shopify merchants use Shopify Payments. Google Pay also isn’t enabled by default—merchants have to opt-in.

Google’s turned another one of its Experiments into a standalone app: augmented reality doodling tool Just a Line hit the Play Store today. Based on Jonas Jongejan‘s ARCore Drawing experiment, the app lets you make augmented reality drawings in 3D space around you, and frankly, it’s pretty stinkin’ neat.

There’s really not a whole lot to the app: drawing with your finger on your phone’s screen, you’re able to scrawl white lines in the air that realistically stay in place as you move around them—it’s sort of like the Pixel’s AR stickers with just a dash of Tilt Brush.

From its 6-inch display to its 6GB of RAM or 128GB of internal storage, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro packs a whole lot of features to justify its price tag. Right now, the powerful unlocked phone is $100 off, which drops it down to $699.99. It’s available in both blue and silver at this price.

Our review here at Android Central delved into the pros and cons of this device, stating:

Huawei will tell you the Mate 10 is all about onboard artificial intelligence and everything that AI can bring to the smartphone experience.

And AI is all well and good. What makes the Mate 10 Pro a great buy today is its excellence in the core smartphone experience. Things like getting to the end of the day on a single charge, no matter what you’re doing. And taking excellent photos even in challenging night-time conditions.

This is the first price drop we’ve seen on this phone, so don’t miss out. B&H has matched this discount, and ke…

HTC introduced us to the Vive Pro during CES 2018. The new VR headset comes equipped with a new design, higher-resolution displays, and improved audio quality, and now it’s officially available for pre-order. But at a price of $800 for just the headset…

Welcome to another Monday. I hope that all of you enjoyed your St. Patrick’s Day (those of you who celebrate it) and rested well yesterday. Today’s list is actually quite large, so there’s plenty to look through. Have fun.

It’s coming up on two years now since Google first introduced the idea of Android Instant Apps. Instead of users having to download and install a full app prior to using it, Instant Apps allowed developers to give users a way to jump right into app screens and start interacting with them, as easily as if they’d clicked a link to a webpage. Not only did that let you get things done faster, but also served as some smart advertising for devs; if a user liked what they saw with Instant Apps, they might consider downloading and installing the full thing.

Control this smart thermostat with your voice using Google Assistant or Amazon’s Alexa.

The Nest Thermostat 3rd generation is down to $199 at Amazon. This smart thermostat usually sells for $250, though it’s receiving this $50 discount thanks to a price-match of a sale from Home Depot where you can also grab this deal. This is close to the best price the product saw during Black Friday, which was $189.

The Nest is one of the most thorough smart systems you can buy. Just look at all these features:

Cody saw the signs for its impending release a couple weeks back, and now it’s live. Double-tap to advance tracks is apparently working in the tediously-long firmware version 1.1767.6040.G1-61495-545, according to 9to5Google.

We first noticed signs of the upcoming behavior in our teardown for Google app v7.2.3. As Cody noted then, it was supposed to be customizable, allowing one to select between either advancing tracks or triggering the Assistant to read notifications, which is the present function.

After launching in China late last year, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Mobile is finally coming to additional markets. This news comes just a few short days after developer Tencent Games began running a beta in Canada on March 15, and I don’t imagine anyone will be complaining about the rapid expansion.

Tencent and PUBG Corp. note that the game is “now available in many regions around the world” and that it’ll be added to “more regions” later on.

Per Tencent Games’ Vice President, Chen Jerry —

We are very excited to launch PUBG Mobile on iOS and Android internationally. We are working hard to create an authentic PUBG mobile experience that players new and old will love. A lot of went into controls and optimization to give players a smooth and intuitive experience.

Lower graphics aside, PUBG Mobile has just about everything you’ve come to know and love from the PC and Xbox version of the game. You and 99 other players jump out of a plane, …

Last Friday I did a hands-on with PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Mobile thanks to its availability as a soft-launch title in Canada. Today it would appear that the PUBG Mobile has launched worldwide minus of a few European regions, though it’s exactly the same version (0.3.2) as the Canadian release from last week. So short of the new areas that can access the download, nothing much has changed.

PUBG Mobile has gotten a lot of press lately with its apparent rush to market.
